Ida Middle School

Summary:

Ida Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Ida Public School District in Ida, Michigan, with a student population of 494. The school has consistently been ranked among the top middle schools in Michigan, with a current statewide ranking of 177 out of 897 middle schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ida Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 66.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44%. The school also has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.7% to 12.4% over the past five school years, which is lower than the state average and several nearby schools like Wagar Junior High School and Monroe Middle School. Additionally, Ida Middle School spends significantly more per student ($11,469 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic success and the resources available to students.

However, the school's predominantly white student population (94.94% in 2022-2023) is in contrast with the more diverse racial demographics of the surrounding schools and the state as a whole. This may indicate a need to explore ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the school community. Additionally, while Ida Middle School has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (21.05% in 2022-2023), some nearby schools, such as Monroe Middle School and Wagar Junior High School, have significantly higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential disparities in educational opportunities.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
